Portapique Beach Road is seen in Portapique on March 29. - Tim KrochakNova Scotians are asked to observe a moment of silence at noon on Tuesday and Wednesday to remember the 22 lives lost in the 13-hour shooting rampage that happened three years ago.
Flags at Province House and all provincial government buildings and institutions will be at half-mast from sunrise Tuesday to sunset Wednesday. “To community-based organizations and all of you, this is a blueprint to transform community safety in this country,” Michael MacDonald, the former chief justice of Nova Scotia and head of the three-person commission, told about 300 people packed into the Best Western Hotel conference room in Truro on March 30 for the presentation of the final report.
Thirteeen of the 22 deaths occurred in Portapique, a quaint seaside community 40 kilometres northwest of Truro. "The folks living in Portapique struggle with this every day. It's not specific to this time of year. It was a very huge event for many and very traumatic so I don't suspect tomorrow is any different from their regular days."
